i woke up alone and not next to you
last night i said we were through

been months since i saw you that night in june
I’ve been trying not to miss you

we haven’t spoke since i went away
that night there was so much i didnt say
why wont you ever be the first one to break?
i pick up the phone, and type your name everyday

im in my bed
instead of yours
and theres no one to blame except your heart not feeling the same

all the things that you said
it felt like you meant
so i packed all my bags, took my broken heart back and i left

we’re not who we used to be
we’re not who we used to be
you just stole my heart and left me here empty
and im trying to remember what it felt like when you loved me

will i ever find out who i am?
or am i just a hologram?
an experiment in simulation

its hard to despise your reflection
when you refuse to accept less than perfection
and when you wake up everyday feeling as if you have failed.

its hard to fight against your body for control
as melancholy takes over your soul
as you slowly lose your mind.

i can still feel the electricity inflicted by your touch
i can still taste all your lies on my lips
but we were not meant to be.
and all i can think about is

are you finally happy?

velvet rose sunsets
in between the sheets
me and you and our cassettes  
cruising in the front seats
